DESCRIPTION
The fierceness, ruggedness, and mobility of the elite Heeresgruppenkommando 2, or Army Group C of the Italian front kept the superior allied army at bay in Italy from 1943-1945. Take use of their vast array of light vehicles and Italian and German Supplies to flank and attack allied positions, But beware: the HGK have limited infantry and medium/heavy tank resources. Mobility is the key to victory.
OVERVIEW
As the Description says, the HGK is extremely mobile and light vehicle attack force. While the OKW has light vehicles. They also had access to lots of infantry and heavy weaponry. The HGK is different: aside from weapon crews, the HGK's infantry department would be solely on 1 T0 engineers, 1 "T3" Elite Infantry, and the eventual Doctrines. T1 are for the Weapon Crews. T2 and T3 will be chock full of fast and furious light tanks. And their T4 will consist of hard-hitting medium vehicles.
All units costs are reflected on how well they perform in theory(I.E a 240 manpower Infantry would be as effective as Grenadiers or Conscripts, as they also are 240 manpower infantry.)
BASE LAYOUT
The HGK's method of teching is rather odd. instead of building an acutal building or converting a supply truck into another. the HGK instead has its Engineers to build "Command Vehicles" which behave similarly to the Ostheer's Command Panzer. but not only does it allow buffs to allied units. But also can order units into battle like a building. The only trade off is less powerful weapons for themselves. They do have more health and armor than their non-command brethren. but not by much.
When not in use. you can have the Command tanks to "hunker down" to become a temporary building. acting as a resource cache for yourself, lowering the population cap, and dramatically increasing durability. and it still has access to its main cannon, passive bonuses in the sector its hunkered down in, and building units. It cannot re-mobilize if the pop cap can't allow it.

One last bump for 2016!
Updated a few things:
Removed Bersaglieri Panzershreck Upgrade.
Removed Breda 30 LMG for Alpini Brigade.
Slightly Change some of the prices for some units and abilities.
It will be like mode?
Could you explain what you mean by mode?
How you're talking about the Italian Front Axis Army.
So if it's a mode(mod) or not.
Ah I see.
There is currently no mod for it, for the current mod tools would make it very weird and I do not know how to use it properly. but if someone else can do it. then go right ahead.
And what did you discuss?
You mean like feedback? I take in lots of feedback.
before the forums overhaul came in, this thread had 5 pages of feedback in discussion. there is also one in the COH2.org forums that has feedback and discussion too.
and what does that mean this: Italian Front Axis Army
A new faction to CoH2?
It's an Idea.
There's a reason why it's in the wishlist section of the forums.
and do you think that the Afrika Korps?
That was a April Fool's joke.
But that does not mean that it can not do.
Good ideas but I gotta say I always hated the PE micromanaged vet system, having to click on every unit and select off or def. I like the idea of choosing offense or defense but I'd prefer it to be easier to select.
Changed T3 and T0 because of the new spawning mechanics. added a new unit and removed a placeholder.
2 new Commanders! WooHoo!
4-month bump
3rd AXIS FACTION!!! RELIC MAKE IT HAPPEN!!!
Nice work ! I'd love to see it in game, even though this would probably fuck up the balance once again. But It would be an insta-buy for me, even though I rarely play Axis.
where did you hear that?
It was posted 9 months ago
also, it was the 2 new commanders in the Faction in the OP.
